SHACKLETON'S CAPTAIN
‘It is the most extraordinary story. If you wrote this as a piece of fiction people would say "forget it, it's just too far-fetched". It attracted me too because it's a little outside my comfort zone - it's a big epic, dramatised action film and I certainly hadn't done any thing like that before’
- Leanne Pooley on what aspects of the project interested her (Take interview)
Part documentary, part drama, Shackleton’s Captain reveals the truth behind the spectacular rescue and shows how one man’s extraordinary skills and unsung heroism made it all possible.
Worsley was faced with seemingly insurmountable odds when the ship Endurance became trapped in the pack ice off the coast of Antarctica. As the men faced slow starvation, Worsley and a crew risked everything by sailing a tiny life boat eight hundred miles across the Southern Ocean.
Twenty eight lives were in the balance as master sailor Frank Worsley navigated in the worst conditions imaginable; rogue waves, icebergs and hurricanes in a journey regarded by modern sailors as one of the greatest in history.
